'DREAM, WIN, REMEMBER' becomes official slogan of EHF EURO 2020

With one day to go to the qualifiers draw for Men’s EHF EURO 2020, the official slogan for the championship, which will be played in Sweden, Austria and Norway from 10 to 26 January 2020, has been revealed.

‘DREAM. WIN. REMEMBER.’ is EHF EURO 2020’s tagline which will not only serve as the championship’s motto but also as the core for all creative assets produced for the final tournament.

The tagline’s long version reads ‘DREAM TODAY, WIN TOMORROW, REMEMBER FOREVER.’

In the lead-up and over the course of the championship the slogan, or parts of it as it is designed for also single elements to be used, will be seen on billboards across the hosting cities. It forms the basis for online and print advertisement and will also be visible across a range of championship merchandise and included in the venue branding.

Qualifiers draw takes place on 12 April

The draw for the qualification groups of Men's EHF EURO 2020 takes place on 12 April at 19:00 hrs in Trondheim. It is streamed live on the EHF EURO Youtube channel and on EHF EURO Facebook.

With 32 teams participating, more than ever before, it is the biggest qualification to date in EHF EURO history. The top-two teams of each group as well as the four best third-ranked teams will qualify for Men's EHF EURO 2020 and join Sweden, Austria, Norway and Spain.

Statements

“These three words fit perfectly in order to tell stories about EHF EURO 2020 in many different ways. ‘DREAM TODAY’ are two very emotional words. A child can dream to become a handball professional; players can dream of winning a medal or an organiser can dream of creating the best EHF EURO ever.”
Krister Bergström, CEO Handbolls-EM 2020 AB, Sweden

“With ‘WIN TOMORROW’ you may ask yourself if it is not only the European champion who is a winner? The answer is no. The underdog who reaches the main round is the winner. The fans, who have the chance to experience the EHF EURO in their home countries, are winners. A referee, nominated for the first time for a major tournament, can be a winner.
Bernd Rabenseifner, Secretary General Austrian Handball Federation

‘We will for sure remember 2020, it will be an event to ‘REMEMBER FOREVER’. It is the first EHF EURO which will see 24 teams competing. For the first time we will have three organisers. The EHF EURO Cup as preparation tournament for the hosting nations plus Spain is a premiere – and for the first time we will see the final being staged in a football arena.”
Erik Langerud, Secretary General Norwegian Handball Federation
